Often means Daphne Cneo- rum. GARGET. PJiijtoJacca decandra. GARLIC [Allium sativum, 1,1x111,). Hardy perennial bulbous plant, closely allied to the onion. It is native of southeru Europe. It lias flat leaves, and the bulb is composed of several separ- able parts or bulbels, called cloves. These cloves are planted, as onion sets are, in, spring or in fall in the South. They mature in sum- mer and early fall. If the soil is rich, it may be neces- sary to break over the tops to prevent too much top growth and to make the bnllis better, as is sometimes done with onions. This is done when the top growth has reached normal full .size. The cloves are usually set â i-G in. apartin drills, in ordi- nary garden soil. The bulbs are used in cookery, but mostly amongst the foreign population. Strings of bulbs braided together by their tops are common in metro- politan markets (Fig. 804). L. H. B. GARLIC PEAR.
